Actually that wasn't the scene in Collierville....about 22 of us from Collierville got together and made a package deal with one of our friends that sells kinda high end inboard ski-boats and cabin cruisers. In Heber Springs. You wouldn't believe the buying power when you get 22 guys together on something like this.
Anyway, we put together a deal and said we would pull the trigger on the contract when (IF) the TA passes. Just got the word that I'll have to make a down payment when the first bonus check comes in.
Well, I'm on the way to have my own custom built ski-boat....and between the bonus and about two drafts a month for a year...it is essentially free!
I mean I get the whole retirement and healthcare thing....but I actually have a trust that takes care of that. It does limit my payout in retirement if I have any debt...so in all honesty, the TA worked out great because the more liquid I stay now.....the more I get when I retire. Sorry it didn't work out for some of you.
